What are the Common Methods for Nanomaterial Synthesis?
Several methods are employed for the synthesis of nanomaterials, including:
Sol-gel synthesis: This is a wet-chemical technique that involves the transition of a solution system from a liquid "sol" into a solid "gel" phase. Hydrothermal synthesis: This method uses high temperature and pressure to grow crystals from aqueous solutions. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This is a process used to produce high-purity, high-performance solid materials by depositing a solid material from a vapor phase onto a substrate. Electrochemical deposition: This technique involves the reduction of metal ions from a solution onto a conductive substrate.
